The day they become aware of these truths, they will see hatred, racism, revenge, discrimination, lack of humanism, indifference, lust, envy, greed, and pride disappear, and unconditional love, harmony, and peace appear. It is the responsibility of all of us, and God commands us, to spread this truth throughout the world.
Today's society, which is essentially materialism and unbridled sensual pleasure, completely neglects spiritual education, which is practically nonexistent, and prefers to forgo real food, the word of God, and is completely ignorant of God and His true spiritual origins.
Hence the worrying emergence of atheists, unbelieving materialists, and Satanists, who mislead humanity and push them to violence.
This is why the Supreme Eternal, Krishna, asks us to live by His teachings, to listen to His authentic servants, His beautiful, realized souls, for they possess the knowledge and are there to reveal to them God, Krishna, as He truly is, the Absolute Truth, to teach them about spiritual realization, and to lead them to the Supreme Lord Krishna, to their true original home, located in the eternal and absolute kingdom of Krishna.
Because we are immortal spirit souls, bodily conceptions of existence do not concern us.
Corpulence, fatness, thinness, physical and mental suffering, thirst, hunger, fear, discord, the desire for material enjoyment, old age, sleep, attachment to material possessions, anger, grief, delusion, and identification with the body are simply transformations of the material, fleshly envelope that covers the spirit soul.
Anyone preoccupied with the material, bodily conception of existence, centered on the body, is affected by these phenomena, but the spirit soul is in no way affected by this bodily conception. It is therefore neither fat nor thin, nor any of these things.
The spiritually evolved being has no connection with the body or with its actions and their consequences. When one comes to understand that one's own existence is different from that of the body, and that one is therefore neither fat nor thin, one reaches the highest level of spiritual realization. On the contrary, one who is unaware of his true identity remains chained to the material world because of his bodily concept of existence. At present, all of humanity lives with this bodily consciousness. Spiritual intelligence enables one to understand this truth and thereby elevate society to the level of perfection. One who ceases to be affected by the bodily concept of existence in its various aspects can rise to devotional service to the Lord. The more we free ourselves from all bodily concepts, the more firmly we establish ourselves in devotional service and the more happy and peaceful we become. The being free from any bodily conception of existence lives separate from the body, even while living in this material world.
